Hebrews 11

1NowG1161 faithG4102 isG1510 the substanceG5287 of things hoped forG1679, the evidenceG1650 of thingsG4229 notG3756 seenG991.

2ForG1063 byG1722 itG3778 the eldersG4245 had witness borne to themG3140.

3Through faithG4102 we understandG3539 thatG2675 the worldsG3588G165 were framedG2675 by the wordG4487 of GodG2316, so thatG1519 things which are seenG991 wereG1096 notG3361 madeG1096 ofG1537 things which do appearG5316.

4By faithG4102 AbelG6 offeredG4374 unto GodG3588G2316 aG2378 more excellentG4119 sacrificeG2378 thanG3844 CainG2535, byG1223 whichG3739 he obtained witnessG3140 that he wasG1510 righteousG1342, GodG3588G2316 testifyingG3140 ofG1909 hisG846 giftsG3588G1435: andG2532 byG1223 itG846 he being deadG599 yetG2089 speakethG2980.

5By faithG4102 EnochG1802 was translatedG3346 thatG3361 he shouldG3708 notG3361 seeG3708 deathG2288; andG2532 wasG2147 notG3756 foundG2147, becauseG1360 GodG3588G2316 had translatedG3346 himG846: forG1063 beforeG4253 hisG846 translationG3588G3331 he had this testimonyG3140, that he pleasedG2100 GodG3588G2316.

6ButG1161 withoutG5565 faithG4102 it is impossibleG102 to pleaseG2100 him: forG1063 he that comethG3588G4334 to GodG3588G2316 mustG1163 believeG4100 thatG3754 he isG1510, andG2532 that he isG1096 a rewarderG3406 of them that diligently seekG3588G1567 himG846.

7By faithG4102 NoahG3575, being warned of GodG5537 ofG4012 thingsG991 notG3588G3369 seenG991 as yetG3588G3369, moved with fearG2125, preparedG2680 an arkG2787 toG1519 the savingG4991 ofG3588G3624 hisG846 houseG3588G3624; byG1223 the whichG3739 he condemnedG2632 the worldG3588G2889, andG2532 becameG1096 heirG2818 of the righteousnessG1343 which is byG3588G2596 faithG4102.

8By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was calledG2564 to go outG1831 intoG1519 a placeG3588G5117 whichG3739 he should afterG3195 receiveG2983 forG1519 an inheritanceG2817, obeyedG5219; andG2532 he went outG1831, notG3361 knowingG1987 whitherG4226 he wentG2064.

9By faithG4102 he sojournedG3939 inG1519 the landG3588G1093 of promiseG3588G1860, asG5613 in a strange countryG245, dwellingG2730 inG1722 tabernaclesG4633 withG3326 IsaacG2464 andG2532 JacobG2384, the heirs with himG3588G4789 of theG3588G1860 sameG3588G846 promiseG3588G1860:

10ForG1063 he looked forG1551 a cityG4172 which hathG2192 foundationsG3588G2310, whoseG3739 builderG5079 andG2532 makerG1217 is GodG3588G2316.

11Through faithG4102 alsoG2532 SarahG4564 herselfG846 receivedG2983 strengthG1411 toG1519 conceiveG2602 seedG4690, andG2532 was delivered of a childG5088 when she was pastG3844 ageG2244, becauseG1893 she judgedG2233 himG1861 faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861.

12ThereforeG1352 sprang thereG1080 evenG2532 ofG575 oneG1520, andG2532 himG3778 as good as deadG3499, so many asG2531 the starsG3588G798 of the skyG3588G3772 in multitudeG3588G4128, andG2532 asG5616 the sandG285 which isG3588 byG3844 theG3588G5491 seaG3588G2281 shoreG3588G5491 innumerableG3588G382.

13TheseG3778 allG3956 diedG599 inG2596 faithG4102, notG3361 having receivedG2983 the promisesG3588G1860, butG235 having seenG3708 themG846 afar offG4207, andG2532 were persuaded ofG3982 them, andG2532 embracedG782 them, andG2532 confessedG3670 thatG3754 they wereG1510 strangersG3581 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927 onG1909 the earthG3588G1093.

14ForG1063 they that sayG3004 such thingsG5108 declare plainlyG1718 thatG3754 they seekG1934 a countryG3968.

15AndG2532 trulyG3303, ifG1487 they had been mindfulG3421 of thatG1565 country fromG575 whenceG3739 they came outG1831, they might have hadG2192 opportunityG2540 to have returnedG344.

16ButG1161 nowG3570 they desireG3713 a betterG2909 country, thatG3778 isG1510, an heavenlyG2032: whereforeG1352 GodG3588G2316 isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870 to be calledG1941 theirG846 GodG2316: forG1063 he hath preparedG2090 for themG846 a cityG4172.

17By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was triedG3985, offered upG4374 IsaacG2464: andG2532 he that had receivedG324 the promisesG3588G1860 offered upG4374 his only begottenG3439 son,

18OfG4314 whomG3739 it was saidG2980, ThatG3754 inG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4771 seedG4690 be calledG2564:

19AccountingG3049 thatG3754 GodG3588G2316 was ableG1415 to raiseG1453 him upG1453, evenG2532 fromG1537 the deadG3498; from whenceG3606 alsoG2532 he receivedG2865 himG846 inG1722 a figureG3850.

20By faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 andG2532 EsauG2269 concerningG4012 things to comeG3195.

21By faithG4102 JacobG2384, when he was a dyingG599, blessedG2127 bothG1538 the sonsG3588G5207 of JosephG2501; andG2532 worshippedG4352, leaning uponG1909 the topG3588G206 ofG3588G4464 hisG846 staffG3588G4464.

22By faithG4102 JosephG2501, when he diedG5053, made mentionG3421 ofG4012 the departingG3588G1841 of the childrenG3588G5207 of IsraelG2474; andG2532 gave commandmentG1781 concerningG4012 hisG846 bonesG3588G3747.

23By faithG4102 MosesG3475, when he was bornG1080, was hidG2928 three monthsG5150 ofG5259 hisG846 parentsG3588G3962, becauseG1360 they sawG3708 he was aG3588G3813 properG791 childG3588G3813; andG2532 they wereG5399 notG3756 afraidG5399 ofG3588G1297 the king’sG3588G935 commandmentG3588G1297.

24By faithG4102 MosesG3475, when he was comeG1096 to yearsG3173, refusedG720 to be calledG3004 the sonG5207 ofG2364 Pharaoh’sG5328 daughterG2364;

25ChoosingG138 ratherG3123 to suffer affliction withG4778 the peopleG3588G2992 of GodG3588G2316, thanG2228 to enjoyG2192 the pleasuresG619 of sinG266 for a seasonG4340;

26EsteemingG2233 the reproachG3588G3680 of ChristG3588G5547 greaterG3173 richesG4149 than the treasuresG2344 inG1722 EgyptG125: forG1063 he had respectG578 untoG1519 the recompence of the rewardG3588G3405.

27By faithG4102 he forsookG2641 EgyptG125, notG3361 fearingG5399 the wrathG3588G2372 of the kingG3588G935: forG1063 he enduredG2594, asG5613 seeingG3708 him who is invisibleG517.

28Through faithG4102 he keptG4160 the passoverG3588G3957, andG2532 the sprinklingG3588G4378 of bloodG3588G129, lestG3361 he that destroyedG3588G3645 the firstbornG3588G4416 should touchG2345 themG846.

29By faithG4102 they passed throughG1224 theG2281 RedG2063 seaG2281 asG5613 byG1223 dryG3584 land: whichG3739 the EgyptiansG124 assayingG3984 to doG2983 were drownedG2666.

30By faithG4102 the wallsG3588G5038 of JerichoG2410 fell downG4098, after they were compassedG2944 aboutG1909 sevenG2033 daysG2250.

31By faithG4102 the harlotG3588G4204 RahabG4460 perishedG4881 notG3756 withG4881 them that believed notG544, when she had receivedG1209 the spiesG3588G2685 withG3326 peaceG1515.

32AndG2532 whatG5101 shall IG3004 moreG2089 sayG3004? forG1063 the timeG3588G5550 would failG1952 meG1473 to tellG1334 ofG4012 GedeonG1066, andG5037 of BarakG913, andG2532 of SamsonG4546, andG2532 of JephthaeG2422; of DavidG1138 alsoG5037, andG2532 SamuelG4545, andG2532 of the prophetsG3588G4396:

33WhoG3739 throughG1223 faithG4102 subduedG2610 kingdomsG932, wroughtG2038 righteousnessG1343, obtainedG2013 promisesG1860, stoppedG5420 the mouthsG4750 of lionsG3023,

34QuenchedG4570 the violenceG1411 of fireG4442, escapedG5343 the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, out ofG575 weaknessG769 were made strongG1743, waxedG1096 valiantG2478 inG1722 fightG4171, turned to flightG2827 the armiesG3925 of the aliensG245.

35WomenG1135 receivedG2983 theirG846 deadG3498 raised to life againG386: andG1161 othersG243 were torturedG5178, notG3756 acceptingG4327 deliveranceG3588G629; thatG2443 they might obtainG5177 aG386 betterG2909 resurrectionG386:

36AndG1161 othersG2087 hadG2983 trialG3984 ofG1701 cruel mockingsG1701 andG2532 scourgingsG3148, yeaG2089, moreoverG1161 of bondsG1199 andG2532 imprisonmentG5438:

37They were stonedG3034, they were sawn asunderG4249, were temptedG3985, were slainG599 withG1722 the swordG3162: they wandered aboutG4022 inG1722 sheepskinsG3374 andG1722 goatskinsG122G1192; being destituteG5302, afflictedG2346, tormentedG2558;

38(Of whomG3739 the worldG3588G2889 wasG1510 notG3756 worthyG514:) they wanderedG4105 inG1722 desertsG2047, andG2532 in mountainsG3735, andG2532 in densG4693 andG2532 cavesG3588G3692 of the earthG3588G1093.

39And theseG3778 allG3956, having had witness borne to themG3140 throughG1223 faithG3588G4102, receivedG2865 notG3756 the promiseG3588G1860:

40GodG3588G2316 having providedG4265 someG5100 betterG2909 thingG5100 forG4012 usG1473, thatG2443 they withoutG5565 usG1473 shouldG5048 notG3361 be made perfectG5048.
